Weekend Posts are a Must

Here is the new Hands Tied 7" from Livewire Records. The red is out of 300, gold out of 200. Apparently this is an active band again. Not sure how long that will last, but this 7" is pretty good.This is a copy of the Bracewar Juggernaut LP on clear out of 650.I got this in a trade. It's the Swamp Thing In Shame LP United Blood version.Numbered out of 30, pretty limited I have to say. The cover is pretty cool, nice old school tattoo design.I traded my copy of The Rival Mob HC4HC SFU showcase version for the Swamp Thing LP and this Mindset 7". This is the Winter 2009 Tour cover, limited to 110 copies. I was very happy about this trade. I think I got the better end of the deal, but that depends on who you are I suppose.I've been meaning to get a copy of The First Step's Open Hearts and Clear Minds. This is one of the best records in the past 10 years I'd say. This thing is just so incredibly raw, fast and refreshing. This is clear out of 400.This is another Down to Nothing record I probably didn't need to get. This is Grey/Red mix and Blue/Yellow split. I think it's out of 225. I'm kinda lost on the pressing on this record. Hopefully Rich of Speedowax will hook it up.I finally got a copy of Focus on the Light, the Powered pressing. Hopefully more to come. This is out of 510.I picked up a few Effort records on eBay. This is the record release version of Iconoclasm with the special screen printed sleeve.Numbered on the back out of 50.Here we have the pre-order version with a special screen printed sleeve as well. This one is numbered on the front out of 75. I've been meaning to get some more versions of this LP. This is the best output by the band without a doubt.This is the pre-order version of From Our Mistakes, with a numbered cover out of 100. This I believe means I have all of the first press.Here we have three copies of the first Fired Up 7" that I picked up from Kyle Whitlow of Rivalry Records. From top to bottom this is Purple on 300 from the 3rd press, Black out of 400 from the 1st and Blue out of 250 from the first. I think the only one I'm missing is the regular version, not tour version, on clear.
